Here is a somewhat sanitized version of what I shared with my team:

• Unsubscribe from noisy GitHub repos or ones you aren't interested in anymore.
• Create a 2023 brag sheet!
• Leave Slack channels that are abandoned or not useful.
• Sort email and schedule new meetings.

If you are like, but Amara... I only have the brain cycles for 1 thing, commit to making (and maintaining!) a brag sheet.

Mine includes quotes, links, screenshots, and short descriptions of things I do throughout the year. This is a great resource for performance reviews!

Maybe you are a manager like me, so I also include sections to brag on my reports, peers, and even my managers. It never hurts to give someone else some kudos or notice their brag-worthy work.

How are you finishing out the year? Or will you do some of this new year prep in the first week of 2023?
